Относно: Re: Is it just me? or is this site slower than a cheapskate at the checkout counter
Fencer: Without getting into an old conversation, we are trying to be positive (well i am lol)
The site has been great for ages now, BUT since about the time of the Archive, i have a dramatic slowdown in brainking response time. All other sites, well, the other 7 open in Tabs at present load pages between 1.07 and 3.61 seconds. Brainking varies wildly though, i can get a games page load in from 1.7 secs which is great, however, any other pages seem to take anywhere from 4 to 20 secs
Just an annoying observation, what has started this again
Nirvana: Yes you can hide someone in a fellowship from others , BB and moderators will still see them though .........but woulsnt it be easier to remove them from the fellowship
Nirvana: This was discussed a while ago and i think Fencers answer was something along these lines. If you are the Big Boss of a Fellowship, you only have people in there that you choose, and hopefully get on with, and that follow the rules you set down. You have the power to remove anyone, who does not abide by your rules.
This i would normally agree with, but with one exception, when you have been left in charge of someones Fellowship for a reason of absence. Here it might be nice to have 'suspend a person' option where all there Fellowship privileges are halted (no read/write boards, joining Tournaments & Teams etc....).
Nirvana: As far as I know there is no way to hide someone for everyone exept for the crew I guess. On the other hand side you can get mod there to see hiden posts. Confusing that all
Andersp: Blocking someone stops them from sending you private messages, from being able to invite you to a game or fellowship, stops you from being able to see their game messages.
Hiding them on a discussion board keeps you from seeing their posts on that board. The red numbers still show up.
Bernice: My take on the mod thing (global or the presumed sub human level that I occupied for a brief time) is that it requires unquestioned devotion to the fearless leader,if not,it falls apart like dominos
I put up with it for awhile just to humor whatever deal it was you thought was great.. but, now it is getting very annoying.. I am a paid member.. I buy memberships so I don't have to be forced to visit offbrand sites.. I don't care to have a cookie from these sites sitting on my puter because I got used to my Main Page link at the top of the list.. Please either offer a check box to those of us who are not interested in other sites.. or take the link off your site all together..
Is anyone else seeing odd things with Tournamet results tables ? I was just looking at one, which show a 2 section Tournament. Section 1 has finished, and the winner coloured yellow YET there are no results in the boxes. Section 2 is still running, yet every result box has a space for 2 results (which is wrong as it is only a one game match), but the first result shows as unfnished and the second as a draw in EVERY game. I have tried a couple of Tournaments and go the same basic problem.
I thought it may have been Firefox having a funny moment, so have tried IE and it is the same
Bernice: Yeeeessss! Purple would be a GREAT global mod. I believe he will be "the choosen one". Brainking criterias are strange enougth for that... lololol
would there be any chance of updating the "Global Moderators" list as I believe that a couple have resigned for one reason or another. It makes it easier when you want to talk to one and theyactually are a Global Moderator.....thanks
crosseyed: to activate your paypal account to use your credit card , it takes a few days ........they make a charge to your credit card for a few pence , you use the code that is then given to verify things , at least that is how it used to work when i joined
Jason:i've been using paypal for years, it's very easy and it is free, it's very reliable, it goes thru my credit card, and it seems like my payments go thru in no more then 24 hrs.
crosseyed: just to add if you want to do it that way (credit/debit card ect) through paypal you can set it up if you logon to paypal and look for the link to set it up ,
crosseyed: no fee for using it , i bought a membership a few weeks ago and it is instantly done , and the persons membership was updated within a minute , i have it set to use my credit card for payment ,so paypal pays instantly and then charges my credit card
